View Article  GLOBAL PET FOODS SUPPORTS BANNED AID
Global Pet Foods in Nova Scotia has contributed $1,000 to the Banned Aid Legal Fund tonight.

They plan to issue a challenge to other Global stores in Canada to match or beat their contribution.

Thanks to Global pet foods - I already shop at a Global/Ryan's store but I have a feeling you are about to get even more new customers!

To visit the Nova Scotia website, click here.

To visit the main Global site to find a store near you, view their products or order online, click here.

Together, we can win this.  Every dollar counts.

View Article  CRUNCH TIME FOR THE ONTARIO LEGAL FUND - PLEASE HELP!

ALERT:

The constitutional challenge to represent the collective, national interest of responsible dog owners is in dire straits.


We started at $107,000 in December and are now 67,000 $56,000 $52,300 $49,000 (this is unbelievable!) shy of being able to have our voices heard in Canada's highest court, the Supreme Court of Canada. We have been granted an extension to come up with this amount, but just until the end of January 2009.


BIG BROTHER, DAVID AND GOLIATH


On-SCARIO ( AKA Ontario Canada ) has flagrantly wasted tax payers dollars to act as Goliath against our David ( Banned Aid Coalition ) to ban any "substantially similar" dogs to the banned pure bred dogs, American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers and American Pit Bull Terriers.


NOW WHO IS THE BULLY?


Over 4000 dogs are dead, even puppies - because of the way they look, not the way they behave.


In essence, the Ontario government has usurped the federal Pedigree Act and has decided what breeds and mixes thereof will live, drive through or breed  within its boundaries - for no valid reason.


It simply doesn't matter whether you like the bully dogs or not. It is now a matter of sending a message to government that we are no longer willing to allow politicians to sacrifice the lives of innocent dogs.


DOGS for DOLLARS: IS YOUR DOG WORTH A DOLLAR?


ONE DOLLAR, A LOONY TO FIGHT THE LOONS IN GOVERNMENT!


 

PAY PAL. Please go to www.dlcc.ca and click on the "Donate!" link for the Pay Pal tool (scroll down on the home page to find the button).


You can also make an online payment from your financial institution's website by sending a bill payment to treasurer @ doglegislationcouncilcanada.org (without the spaces, sorry but we get a lot of spam when we post live links).


Send cheques or money orders directly to Banned Aid lawyer Clayton Ruby at the following address, c/o BANNED AID LEGAL CHALLENGE FUND.


Note:  Please do not send amounts of one dollar to the lawyers - they'll kill us if they have to account for that.  Please use the other ways to contribute shown above instead.

View Article  HEY HSUS - BE CAREFUL OF THAT FOR WHICH YOU WISH
From the Center for Consumer Freedom:

According to a story appearing in the New York Times this week, the U.S. Supreme Court may soon hear an unusual First Amendment case that could put some high-profile animal rights groups out of business. And they don't even seem to see it coming. The case surrounds a 1999 federal law that criminalized the creation, sale, or possession of videos and photos depicting animal cruelty for commercial gain. The law has since been struck down, but now the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is rallying support to restore it because it made distributing dogfighting videos [...] illegal. We have just one question: Is fundraising to foot the bill for six-figure activist salaries considered "commercial gain"?

I agree with those dastardly villains at CCF that this raises a very interesting point.

Since most of the fundraising efforts of the pseudo animal welfare groups such as the Hsus and Peta involve using the shock value of stock graphic images, if they are successful in reinstating the law prohibiting the use of such images for commercial purposes, it would only make sense that they'd have to shut down this very lucrative aspect of their fundraising efforts.

Since I don't care a whit for people who abuse animals, and have even less tolerance for those who peddle what I call cruelty porn regardless of who they are, I'm hoping they all lose out, big-time.

I don't see this as a freedom of speech issue, since the speech in this case involves documentation of a felony and its subsequent distribution for financial gain.  It should therefore not be protected under freedom of expression rights, in my opinion.

There is a slight problem with that line of thinking though.  Unless the law is surgically applied to cover only the kinds of graphic images discussed, it could easily include books, newspaper and journal articles and even movies that are produced about real crime situations. In fact, I can see how it might even extend to fictional creations.

That's the trouble with these kinds of knee-jerk ideas, there's always another angle.  I imagine that's why the decision overturning the law was taken.
